Just after he had hidden himself, the very next second brought a terrifying moment. A "ding" sounded, and to his horror, the elevator actually stopped on his floor. With the elevator doors slowly opening, there was no one inside.
Even as the elevator doors closed, there was no sign of anything unusual, and the elevator remained stationary on the third floor.
Yang Xiao instinctively felt uneasy. He suspected that something had come out of the elevator... something he couldn't see. That was what terrified him the most.
He didn't dare to move an inch, staying hidden behind the door, continuing to watch and listen intently, not letting even the slightest sound escape him.
About half a minute later, his ears twitched; Yang Xiao really did catch a sound. It was very faint, like someone tiptoeing, hugging the wall, taking one step at a time.
